Visiting Our School

WBECHS welcomes
visitors and special guests - we appreciate parents, grandparents,
volunteers and community members visiting our school. However, our main
priority is the safety of our students and staff. All visitors will be required to sign-in before entering our building using the Lobby Guard System.

The purpose of the Lobby Guard System
is to reasonably identify visitors to our schools so that they can be
screened for sex offender status and be signed-in with a badge as a
visitor to our schools. This is done for the protection of the children
in our schools, as well as for accountability purposes.

Lobby Guard is
an easy to use system that consists of a kiosk with a touch screen,
camera, and ID scanner. A photo ID will be required to sign-in with the
Lobby Guard. The integrated driver's license scanner
is located directly below the touch screen and supports the scanning of
driver's licenses from all 50 states and numerous foreign countries, US
issued IDs, and US military IDs. If a photo ID is not available, then
the visitor must present two separate forms of ID before they can
register as a visitor. Acceptable forms would be: car registration,
utility bill, voter registration card, birth certificate, Passport,
library card, or any other form of identification that is reviewed and
accepted by the building administrator.

Once the ID has been scanned and cleared, a photo visitor badge will be
issued to the visitor. This is generally a stick-on type badge that
must be worn and visible while in the school.

Checking out is easy too! A visitor simply scans the bar code located
on the visitor badge under the light on the kiosk and the visitor will
automatically be signed out of the school.

The Lobby Guard System
is a quick and easy way to issue identification badges, screen for sex
offenders, and help keep our schools safe and secure.

*School may use alternative methods for signing in visitors for special events and functions.
